Clive Christian Perfume No1 Feminine is a Parfum launched in 2001. No1 Feminine opens with Pimiento, Bergamot, Lemon, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Clive Christian Perfume's No1 Feminine carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This "luxury" fragrance is deeply divisive. Many find it smells dated, brash, and shockingly similar to cheaper classics like Chanel No. 5 or Guerlain Samsara, while others adore its regal, complex character. Proceed with extreme caution and manage your expectations - the whopping price tag guarantees nothing but controversy.

About

Clive Christian No. 1 opens with a rich, ripe burst of stone fruits - apricot, peach, and plum - immediately tempered by the assertive spice of pimiento and cardamom, lending it a distinctive mature air. The heart unfolds into a velvety bouquet of powdery iris, classic rose, and opulent ylang-ylang, creating a dense floral core. A warm, creamy base of sandalwood and vanilla, with whispers of amber and musk, anchors the opulent blend, finishing with a refined, if somewhat old-school, elegance.
